In class, you were assigned a chapter (or chapters depending on the size your class) from Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. To complete this assignment follow the directions below:
First, get an idea about the setting, plot and characters of Uncle Tom's Cabin by reading the Wikipedia entry.
Find the chapter (or chapters) that you were assigned by scrolling through the book.
Write a quick summary of what you read.
When writing your summary...
Make sure you detail what is going on (even if it seems insignificant). Since you are "jigsawing" the book, you probably will not know what is important or not, so don't leave anything out in case it is (otherwise you may ruin the plot).
Use character names as much as possible to limit confusion.
Your summary should be no more than 250 words.
Once your class has completed the assignment, you can print out the full results here (or a previous year's version).
